There are two books that are copied here, so
the christening entries through 1807 repeat twice.It would appear that the old book was
damaged/deteriorating and that the entries were copied into a new book.In the older book, the names of witnesses
were given, starting about 1770.That
information was not copied into the new book.In addition, there are occasionally some variations in detail/spelling
between the old and new versions.

The Book of Glenbuchat "Notes on the
Session Records of Glenbuchat" by G.D. Henderson notes the following:

"For a long period the Session Clerk was
James Raeburn. When he died in 1770 his son of the same name succeeded to his
various offices in the parish and it was he who in 1808 carefully transcribed
the Baptismal Register from 1719, which is still preserved in the Register
House along with fragments of the original which he copied."

Names from the year 1719 whose friends & successors have Contributed to the
Expense of Buying this Book, and all other Names & Registrations herein not
